Would you say you chew your food the recommended amount of times before swallowing?

So the recommended is from 20-32 times before consumption, it also says "or until liquefied", which is basically pieces in a puddle of saliva, so with that in mind, do you chew the recommended? 😂

I honestly don't feel like anyone does, if someone does, it's gotta be more common among women since it's generalized that women eat slower, men basically just breath that shit in on some Kirby shit but even then I still don't believe either gender actually chews 32 times, after 14 it becomes uncomfortable 😂

How much I chew really depend on the food & what I believe the negative consequences will be for not chewing well. For instance, with all protein sources, I make sure to chew well because the body really needs it & it would be a shame to just unnecessarily feed the gut microbes protein that I could be using. Next on the important list is anything fiber related. I bloat very easily from fiber & the easier that I can make it for my gut microbes to break it down, the better. Next is carbs. I like to chew them pretty well so that I can coat them with enough enzymes as possible. And then anybody who chews fats is weird. jk. Fats are less important. I don't really care about chewing them insanely well if they're like in nut form. Just well enough. Honestly the less fat that I absorb, the better. I notice that I really only need around 33-66grams per day. Any extra is just so that I can more easily fill in the calories to not um die.

Pssst... don't tell anybody. But, nope. Im like a dog. I barely get to taste it!

[Genie23]

I do!! I mean 32 would be too much but I do chew it 20 times. I'm so used to it than I don't need to count it. That's why I don't tend to overeat as my jaw gets tired after a certain point/time and signals my brain "Okay, that's enough for now. Tell her she's full" and so, I feel full but then because then I am also one of those people who eats small quantity (can eat a lot only if I starve myself for days 😶) but also gets hungry every 2-3 hours 🤣

[Asker]

20 times still sounds like a lot, how you even chew that much, doesn't it get uncomfortable? You legit fool yourself to believe you are enough by chewing more than what you are eating, interesting diet strategy 😂

[Genie23]

It does especially when you've never done it before but if you're used to it, it doesn't get uncomfortable unless you eat in large quantity 😅 even before I started chewing my food 20 times I would still not be able to eat much as I don't exactly have a big appetite but I have super fast metabolism (being ectomorph can suck at times if you want to stay in healthy weight), so I feel hungry again every 2-3 hours, lol

But yeah, those who want to lose weight. This is definitely the best strategy 🤣

[Asker]

Well fast metabolism means you lose it fast anyways which means you can basically eat a whole donut factory and burn it like a furnace 😂 *swallow* *tssssssss* automatic digestion 😂

Quite the intesting strategy lol

[Genie23]

LMAO!

Who do you think was the body double in The Mask movie, Chris? 🤣

[Asker]

I actually don't think there was one, wasn't it all Jim carry 😂

[Genie23]

That's what they wanted you audience to think. Eating furnitures, bombs, fire extinguishers... It was all me, Chris. It was all me. 🤣

[Asker]

Damn I'm gonna get wacked again ain't I, you are going through that unpredictable little confession thing you do, then you wack me 😂

[Genie23]

Hahahaha!! You know me too well 🤣 It was good knowing you, Chico. You'll be be missed, lol

[Genie23]

What's funny is that you accepted your fate. 🤣

[Asker]

I'll be back cause I just keep respawning but yea see I knew it, there's really no point of running, it's faster if I just accept it 😂

[Genie23]

LMAO! 🤣

[Beckybooboo]

I'm a painfully slow eater, to the point that people get mad at me for taking too long when we're out to eat. I do chew the recommended amount and make sure to sip on a glass of water.

[Asker]

Damn so your slower than normal slow? 😂

[Beckybooboo]

I am and because of it, I don't blame people for getting pissed at me for taking too long. My boyfriend will actually start eating my food to rush things 😂

[Asker]

Sounds effective, he makes it easier for you by eating your food 💀

[leahzrc]

i do not think when i eat I eat fast so may i need to chew more

[Asker]

Yes chew more 😂

[PrettyCrumblBb]

You asked this question before. 😐😐😐

[Asker]

I did not lol

[PrettyCrumblBb]

Yes u have. Don't make me go look for it. 👀

[Asker]

Look for it 😂

[Anonymous]

I don't count while chewing :P

[Asker]

But if you had to guess lol

[Opinion Owner]

LoL, I would guess 3-4 times...

[Miah06]

[CubaPirate]
